I remember one of the early problems with every version of Firefox (until 3 came out) was the fact that you couldn’t edit how long the search box in the right corner should be.  Thankfully, with Firefox 3, now all you have to do is stretch it over to fit your needs.  So why would you need any of the older add-ons like Searchbar Autosizer?
Let me tell you there are still plenty of good reasons to give this Firefox [...]

I have said before, there are not many dark Firefox themes that I like that much.  Maybe I’m just too happy to enjoy the lights being turned out in the browser.  Heaven.Cube, a new theme for Firefox 3, might change my mind.  It has style.  It has darkness.  Best of all, (here is the secret!) it is very unique.
After using it for a while, you’ll get the feeling that your browser is almost glowing.  All the icons are shinny [...]

To tell you the truth, I have not used the Unsorted Bookmarks feature in Firefox 3 that much at all.  Why?  Well, it is a ‘bit of a pain to get to.  You have to open your bookmark manager, open up all bookmarks in the tree then go down to unsorted bookmarks.  Want an easier way to access your unsorted bookmarks?
Right-click on your bookmarks toolbar, and select “New Bookmark”.

The name can be anything.  To keep things simple, for now [...]

Want a new way to quickly and elegantly switch between tabs in Firefox?  FoxTab is a new experimental add-on for Firefox, and it makes switching between tabs a very unique experience. 
You can view your tabs in a number of different ways:

Wall – like a TV store. select the desired tab (“TV screen”) from a wall.
Grid – the tabs are aligned on a grid.
Row – the tabs arranged in a row.
Cycle – rotate between tabs.

Activating it is easy.  Either [...]

Want to dress Firefox up to look like Google Chrome? 
It is ok to look at other browser’s themes from time to time.  That doesn’t mean your a cheater, it just means you like looking at new things every once in a while.  Chromiefox is a coat of “chrome” for Firefox.  Available for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, this theme will bring you the look and feel of Chrome without having to switch browsers to get your fix.

Here are [...]

Not often do the people behind the absolutely awesome Firefox add-ons, tools and the browser itself get much time in the spotlight.  I recently had the chance to talk with the ColorfulTabs extension author, Shivanand Sharma, to get his views on his creation and a number of other development related questions.
What first inspired you to create the ColorfulTabs add-on for Firefox?
Before I begin I’d like to congratulate you and commend you for the great and popular blog and content you [...]

Yes, it is true because big graphs never lie…

Why debate it, when you have a really big pretty graph to look at?  Here is some more on the topic from arstechnica.com.
One of the most impressive features in Google’s open source Chrome web browser is V8, a high-performance JavaScript virtual machine that was developed by a team of specialists in Denmark. Although Chrome’s performance beats the current stable version of Firefox, benchmarks show that Mozilla’s next-generation JavaScript engine actually outperforms [...]

The other day, when we were talking about bringing Chrome features into Firefox, the topic “searching from the address bar” was mentioned.  By default, when you type a word into the address bar by itself, it gives you Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” number one result. 

What if you just want to do a regular Google search? 
There is an easy way to turn your address bar into a Google search box.  You want to type into your address bar [...]

I have noticed the past few days that FoxieWire.com has been down.  For those of you who might not have seen it before, Foxie Wire is a digg-like web site just for Mozilla fans.

Hope all is well in Foxie Wire land!  It has been a great alternative resource for Firefox news and interesting links.  Would hate to see it get lost. If anybody knows the inside scoop, let me know!
Update: Looks like it is back now. :)  Here is an [...]

Want to get Firefox all black and blue without entering it into a no old bared street fight with Internet Explorer 7? (We all know who would win that one…) Well, you can with the Gradient iCool theme for Firefox. 

I noticed the blog author was bragging about 4,000 downloads. Lets see if we can get him a few more thanks to FirefoxFacts.com.
The Gradient iCool theme is a dark theme based on Windows Media Player 11.  It is [...]
